Indexation is used to adjust values for general changes in
price. You can use the Index Fixed
Assets batch job to calculate the replacement costs of fixed
assets.
To use this facility, you must activate the Allow Indexation field in the depreciation
book.
On the Fixed Asset tab, set
a filter to select the fixed assets you wish to index.
On the Options tab, fill in
the fields. For Help about a specific field, click the field and
press F1.
If automatic numbering is used, leave the Document No. field blank. (The journal you
transfer to must be empty and have a number series set up for it.)
Otherwise, enter a document number. All lines are then given the
same number in the journal. You must use a template and a batch
without a specified number series.
Click OK.
The program creates the necessary lines in a journal. The
journal template and batch that are used are determined by the way
you set up the FA Journal Setup
window. This window is set up from the depreciation book card.
Open the Fixed Asset G/L
Journal window or the Fixed Asset
Journal window. Note that there is a check mark in the
Index Entry field. Check the
created entries, and post them to the ledgers.
The Index Entry field is not
part of the standard layout, but you can insert it with the design
facilities.
Tips
If the index figures are for simulation
purposes only, you can create a special depreciation book to store
them in. Then these entries will not affect any of the other
depreciation books.
You can also index manually by entering a
journal line. Click the Index
Entry field to mark your entries. This will make indexed
entries recognizable.
If you need to correct an indexation error,
you can do so by using the Cancel FA
Ledger Entries function, and then running the Index Fixed Assets batch job again.
